Run rnews -U as the news user.  You probably want to run that hourly
from cron.

Nigel: I already have this running as a cron job hourly. 
And I have also throttled the server so no more posts are accepted and
run the command as you suggested as news user 
And the articles are still in /var/spool/news/incoming 

Nigel: I have tried running the command you suggested without throttle
on the news server and the result is the Same as above.
